Granted most of it were cameos, but it was cool nonetheless to see Loghain appear in Inquistion for example.
Loghain was not just a cameo, he had an extended presence in a major story questline, along with Hawke. The sort of presence that could be rapelaced with someone else, but still. Alastair was a cameo... or maybe that's just because of my worldstate that made him the king, instead of a gay ward-

Why am I defending Cisquisition? Has it come to this?

If the available info on playstation and Steam pre-orders are actually within their expectations and indicates strong demand, that means they were already expecting an actual flop with a slight chance to make back the development costs. But there are no articles from last week when this investor showcase happened talking about Vileguard and only ones that came out today are using some biodrones tumblr page as source with a very entertaining picture.

This fantasy character has adhd, uses different pronouns and our first asian elf, a fresh new addition to our elves after we added black ones in our previous game. You can expect more believable characters like this. Trust us and our diverse team of employee-persons dear investors, also dont read anything online about the game from sources that are not approved by our hardworking marketing team.

It's always funny when people bring these things up to prove their point "wow veilguard is super popular and going to be a great game" as if

1. A company's going to tell their investors anything besides how good they're doing.
2. The number of copies sold by a company bankrolled by fucking EA means anything for quality at all.

I'm sure at this point the nu-BioWare cult will love the game even if it smears shit on their face.

A reminder that this game is made for fans of Inquisition, not Origins.

Come on, it was a good example of different worldstates.

It could be Alistair, Loghain or the default guy. Three actors recording a decent amount of lines (with some variation)

Aaand if you did the main quests in a specific order, you could catch additional scenes of Alistair/Loghain and Morrigan. Aaaaand they could be talking about Warden/Alistair/Loghain's son.

If you didn't import a suitable save, you wouldn't see all this possible content.

Even if it doesn't impact the main story at all, it was still great on Bioware's part to spend time and money on those possibilities. Something to be proud of, I ain't ever gonna deny them that.

two VAs per sex for a dialog heavy game with a fully voiced protagonist was also pretty radical
I don't know if anyone ever did anything like that again
Yeah, they are doing the same in veilguard. But this time one of VAs is the fiercely talented Erika Ishii, of course

SWTOR. Also by BioWare. Also had completely different dialogue lines for each class, and widespread NPC reactivity to the classes, not to mention the yuge amount of content completely unique to each class. But that was a different BioWare (BW Austin).

Especially if it does that.



Remember demonic possession, abominations? Templars standing with swords drawn over mages during their final test?

Dude is possessed, everyone is oofing about this over a cup of latte. "Nah, dawg, I'm fine, I'm cool, alright?" - - "Gee-weez, friend, I guess you're cool then"

Brothers. Help me understand. What are these boobs on the armor connected to. If you zoom in on the middle the chest area looks flat, like, really flat. So is the armor on display just fake boobs?

They can be just really saggy. But anyway, this is a game for troons from troons. What else did you expect?
